Gators are easy to deal with. Get them to bite a stick, they will. Once their jaws are closed, a 7 year old child could keep their jaws closed with some difficulty. A full grown adult can easily hang on to their jaws. Then you get a buddy or two to throw the thing back in the water.
They’re fast in the water, and can do really short sprints on land. More like repeated lunges, really. On land we are much faster and have a lot more endurance. Not saying you shouldn’t be careful, but unless you’re a kid or elderly, gators aren’t really a concern.
We don’t have crocodiles in North America, outside of zoos, thankfully. Those monsters are a pain to deal with, I assume, since I have never seen a video of drunk Egyptians or drunk Australians wrangling them. I have seen drunk Floridians wrangle gators in person, so I’m certain videos exist.

Be careful with the gators. You’ll be focused on the jaws, but the feet have claws too…
Death by alligator is quite rare, but the month before we moved to Florida one took a snorkeler just a few miles from where we were moving to…
Yeah, in the water it’s a whole different story. They can outswim Micheal Phelps, and Mark Spitz as though those two were sitting still.
